Today’s podcast episode is a special “bonus episode” and I have some exciting news for you: we’re launching a new podcast called the Rideshare Dojo! The podcast tagline is ‘by a driver for drivers’ and is meant to be like a water cooler for drivers. In today’s bonus episode, I’m introducing you to a Rideshare Dojo interview Jay conducted with Nathan Daulton, a driver who has a ‘Plan B’ after rideshare driving.

Preview of The Rideshare Dojo: Interview with Nathan Daulton Nathan is a rideshare driver – also a mobile notary (his Plan B)
He’s a year into implementing his Plan B and has plans to make over $100,000 in his second year of work, his goal is $200,000 a year
Entrepreneurial spirit alive and well among drivers!
The Idea of a Plan B Was driving in 2018 and met a passenger who worked with an escrow company (signing real estate documentation)
Passenger recommended it to Nathan
National Notary Association – leading national org that trains and certifies notaries
The Notary Process He learned about being a notary in January 2018, takes about 3-4 months before you can get started making money (need training first – all online)
General notaries don’t make as much – around $15 each
Loan signing for homes pay around $150 – need additional training for that kind of pay!
Has done nearly 500 signings in one year – roughly $60,000 so far
In one day, made $965
Implementing Plan B Always interested in entrepreneurship
Has reached a point that he could start his own signing service, making passive secondary income
Things just started to snowball – met other notaries, made connections in the real estate industry
Logistics of Being a Notary and Driver Being a notary is ridiculously easy once you have the training
Coordinating driving + being a notary was difficult at first – had to plan where to be and on time!
More than enough work in cities to keep someone busy without rideshare driving!
Driving less – as driver pay has gone down and as Nathan works as a notary more, driving wasn’t as lucrative in comparison
Most stressful thing of being a notary is making sure everything is signed – if you miss a signature or an initial, you have to go back and fix it and that can mess up sales timelines
